Just throwin this out there. Aside from the ability to use a suppressor, how much would having the extra 1/2" or 5/8" of threaded barrel on a hand gun improve accuracy? M&P 9 w/ drop in 4.9" threaded storm lake specifically. Would it be silly to use this a primary barrel? I'm not interested in buying the M&P pro to gain that extra barrel length.

Typically shorter barrels are more accurate. This is due to the shorter barrel being stiffer. Longer barrels just give more velocity.

Nowhere near as much as taking quality training and practicing what is taught there.

Right! Now, if I could only find a way to delete my original post.

I wouldn't worry about it.
